This one has an exceptionally low roof line, no doubt to fit into a particular building. I don't know if it was built like this or altered later in its life.

It's now in grey - saw it at the Hoveringham Rally in Nottinghamshire on 30th May 2010.

It had been for sale on ebay in March 2010 and at that time it was painted grey and the roof had been re-built back to its normal height.

It is now owned by the National Fire Service Display Group, who go to 1940s events in the Midlands. It lives in Lowdham just a couple of miles from Hoveringham, and also went to Welland Steam Rally to help with the big AFS pumping demonstration.

This was originally owned and "restored" by Dick Sillitoe of Washington, Tyne & Wear. He rebuilt it with the low roof in order to be accomodated inside the car garage attached to the side of his bungalow. The photo is taken at Teesside Airport fire engine rally where Dick was a regular supporter until he died.
